SmartCheck® HT

A fast and effective way to screen personnel for concealed contraband and weapons.

SmartCheck HT is a high-throughput, dual-sided configuration of our SmartCheck system. Because it’s designed to generate front and back Z Backscatter® scans simultaneously, it’s ideal for high-traffic areas like border crossings and airport terminals.

To ensure privacy, the SmartCheck HT system shows operators nothing more of each screened person than a chalk outline of the person—and the shape, size, and location of any concealed objects.

As a result, there’s no need for intrusive and time-consuming pat-down searches. For additional privacy and security, the image analysis console is located discretely away from the system.

Comprehensive, high-throughput personnel screening system.

Superior-quality images are faster and easier to interpret than those of competing imaging systems.

The SmartCheck HT system is safe for all individuals and meets the applicable Health Physics Society/American National Standards Institute (ANSI) personnel-screening standard as referenced by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The effective dose from the SmartCheck HT system is 0.05 microSieverts per scan (equivalent to 5 microRem).

It is important to keep in mind that all of us are exposed to ionizing radiation — from sources such as the sun's rays — every single day of our lives. To put this into perspective, 0.05 µSv is equivalent to:

The radiation a person receives from flying in an airplane for about one minute at 30,000 feet (due to the increased exposure from cosmic rays).

Less than one percent (1%) of the radiation dose received by the average person on any day of the year.

Privacy Software: Privacy-enhanced SmartCheck HT creates an image that looks like a chalk outline of the passenger with potential threats outlined, with information to identify the nature and location of threats, but does not reveal facial features, nor anatomical detail.

Operational Procedures to Assure Privacy: Operational procedures further assure privacy. The SmartCheck HT system creates only the privacy-enhanced images, and the images cannot be printed, stored, exported or transmitted. The images are automatically erased after review by the operator, who is located in a remote, secure area away from the screening process. This also ensures that the security analyst does not see and is not able to identify the person being screened.
